## Summary

**DHS accountability for event logging requirements** is the bill's central aim. It would require the Department of Homeland Security to report on its progress meeting federal event logging rules from Executive Order 14028, OMB Memorandum M-26-14, and NIST Special Publication 800-53. The report must be unclassified, submitted within 180 days, include an executive summary published on a public DHS website, and be followed by a briefing to the appropriate congressional committees within 30 days. - Department of Homeland Security staff and managers: They would have to analyze current implementation, identify gaps in guidance, policy, and resources, and recommend policy or resource changes in a single report. - Four congressional committees: House Homeland Security, House Appropriations, Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and Senate Appropriations would receive the report and a briefing within 30 days of submission. - General public: An unclassified executive summary must be posted on a publicly accessible DHS website so the public can read the findings and recommendations.
